Keith,
I have only got version 3 installed on a test PC. What U see appears to be normal. I think there is different wording being used when PSI loads the Interface.

Looks like "loading" in Version 3 has replaced "verifying Internet connection" followed by "waiting for data to load" in Version 2.

Both version 2 & 3 give U a clear initial indicator of the status of your system from the Tasktray icon. If green all should be OK in that PSI should have completed all the tasks necessary to give that result.

I think with the back button U are referring to navigation from the programme page with all the icons back to the initial opening (home) page?

If so that facility is not available nor is there an abort option if U wish to stop a scan.

I suspect no one has answered your query because version 3 is designed for full automation or the user help offered by clicking "Need Help?" on the interface.

There are no troubleshoot features with this version. If any questions/problems arise not covered by the programme help line it is reliant on direct Secunia Support - if they do not respond to the Forum in a timely manner the email address is support@secunia.com.

Both version 2 & 3 give U a clear initial indicator of the status of your system from the Tasktray icon. If green all should be OK in that PSI should have completed all the tasks necessary to give that result.

This is where I am confused all I can see is the Secunia page with a red bar across the bottom.
In that bar is "Loading" and nothing else.

In the task Bar I only see the "red Secunia icon" and it does not change colour even when finished.

The next thing I see is telling me my score is 100% (as usual)

Now if I click "Scan again" I can see the orange icon and a green progress bar and Scanning for outdated programs

This automatically tells me some thing is happening

I hope you understand my non computer language.

All I am asking or suggesting is should that be on the same page as "Loading" so that you can see something is happening.

As it stands now it could be loading and that is all which was often the case with "2"

Keith,
I understand. I will create some screen shots, with explanations, on my test PC of the sequence of events so U can relate it exactly to what your can see.

It could take a while. In the interim can U check your Secunia User ID is present?
To do this:

Open REGEDIT

a. XP - Go to Start>Run>in the box that appears type regedit >click OK on the box>U are now in the Registry.
b. Vista & Windows 7 Users - Click Start>type regedit in the search box>REGEDIT.EXE will appear at the top of the list>click it>from the prompt allow the programme to run>U are now in the Registry.

Once in the Registry navigate to here - HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Secunia>PSI

Click on PSI - in the right hand pane U should see a string called User ID - under Data is there a long string of letters & numbers present?

I currently have the PSI version 3 loaded to run on boot but without "auto-updating" .

When I open the GUI from the tray all I see is the "Loading" thing and after maybe a minute I see the date of my last scan and the score for that scan . It does not scan during loading but the psia.exe process is active with the Secunia servers . What I do not know atm is whether the GUI will later tell me that it is a long time since I scanned nor if it will auto run a weekly scan , as per version 2.0 .

Loading and scanning run the psi.exe process and for some people (me , for example) that uses very high levels of CPU and RAM ; Secunia are aware of the problem .

What is not clear to me is when , if you opt for "auto-updating" by the PSI , then does it run a scan every time the PSI loads on boot or perhaps when you open the GUI (thus "loading" might also include scanning) . In 2.0 you see the last scan results and need to manually select a scan to "update" your system .

There are many problems with "wording" , so you might wish to ask Secunia support direct for clarification , if they do not appear here .

AFAIK , the colour of your tray icon "should" reflect your last scan results as held on the Secunia servers , picked up from there by the psia.exe process and fed to you in the GUI (run by the psi.exe) . Again , you might help us all by getting support to clarify .

I have been trying to put together a few pictures that explains it a bit more for U. Trouble is that some of it is guesswork & cannot really be firmed up until Secunia answer a few questions. Judging by their activity on this Forum we could be in for a long wait.

I note U are fairly happy with version 3 except U want more detail? If that is correct it may be worth waiting until the end of the month when they appear to be releasing a maintenance update (in our language that means bug fixes & an upgrade with new features) - hopefully that will include much more detail on how it all works via the User Manual.

U could of course also consider reverting back to version 2 on a permanent basis or until such time as Secunia sort out version 3.

The version 2 link is below my Signature Block if required. Just click the link & it will auto uninstall 3 & then install 2 once U accept the EULA. Despite adverse comments on the Forum with this procedure my test, just carried out, indicates it works perfectly.

I was going to offer my email address. It is easier to put together graphics & explanations of what U were looking for using email because I can use Microsoft Office. I will try next week to tie up with your timings if U are interested in my address?
